I have six horses-three quarters and three paints. The whorls comments held up with my horses. That is,if the wholes are between the eyes, the calmer the horse–the higher the wholes the more high strung. Also, there are whorls on each side of the horses neck–the closer to the ears, the quieter the horse and the one closest to the ear is the softest side

This is really interesting and I found a whole series of videos by Chris Irwin on the subject at http://www.horsevideolibrary.com!

Well, my first horse was left sided and it took me awhile to figure out why I had to do everything backwards from what the books said. I never knew about the whorls though. I think my current horse is right sided but I’ll check to see if this method works. It’s pretty easy to tell though so I don’t know why this method would be needed.

That’s really interesting! I had never thought about a horse being left or right hoofed either. 😛

Very interesting… I never thought about your horse being left hoofed or right hoofed!
